[6pack] Frame Rehab Advice

Did I forget to say it requires expertise? As you saw if you looked at my
website, I went with Ratco. The original frame is bent sheet metal.

All this talk about frame welding should come with some caution. It's
important to remember that the frames are old and certainly thinner than when
new. The areas that show cracks are already stressed and grinding down to good
metal for weld prep won't help. Make your patches generously sized and keep
the heat down.
